Lily Furedi (May 20, 1896 – November 1969) was a Hungarian-American artist. A native of Budapest, she achieved national recognition for her 1934 painting, The Subway, which is a sympathetic portrayal of passengers in a New York subway car. Light-hearted in tone, the painting depicts a cross-section of city dwellers from the viewpoint of a fellow commuter. 匈牙利籍美国女画家，她最著名的作品是1934年的《地铁》，以轻松诙谐、富有情感的笔调，从乘车者的角度，描绘了纽约地铁一隅。

When all is lit up with color，there comes a world seen as vibrant, bright, optimistic，playful, clean, and decorous，idealistically deployed.

A poet, using the ekphrastic poetic technique, declared that the painting showed the "best in mass transit," in which "we get to meet, greet, / and saunter through / time and space together." The poem, by Angie Trudell Vasquez, is called "Eyes Alive." It closes: "see what beauty / we can make / when all is lit up with color / warm and welcoming, / beckoning you / into the picture, / offering you a seat."诗人Angie Trudell Vasquez在她的诗歌《Eyes Alive》里赞美这幅画：描绘了一种最好的公共交通情状“我们相遇，打个招呼，一起漫游一段时空”，那首诗的结尾这么写哒：瞧，当生活被色彩点亮，是多么问温暖、惬意和美丽！它好像在召唤你，过来，到画里来，这有一个座位！

Early in 1934 Furedi was accepted into the Public Works of Art Project. This pioneering federal program employed artists at craftsmen‘s wages to make pictures on the theme of "the American scene."[21][note 7] Her contribution to the project was the painting called The Subway. The picture was one of twenty-five selected for presentation as gifts to the White House. It was also in a group that President and Mrs. Roosevelt had themselves selected as being among the best in the show. 1934年Lily Furedi入选美国公共艺术先锋项目，以“美国即景”为主题创作，这幅《地铁》是当年选送白宫作为礼物的25幅作品之一，也是罗斯福总统和夫人认为是其中最好的一幅作品。

Subway, when I came across this stunning painting that captured the New York subway, I can‘t wait to print it out. The colors are magnificent colors, when you see it in person.
